CEB has a well-established four part research agenda comprising interdisciplinary research: (1) developing organisms for biotechnical applications, (2) developing bioanalytical and molecular methods for application in complex systems, (3) bioreactor systems development and analysis, and (4) environmental system dynamics and control. This agenda is highly integrated and infuses modern molecular biological analysis across a spectrum of science and engineering research projects dealing with fundamentally complex environmental problems. Historically this agenda was heavily weighted toward an outlet for bioremediation research, but has deliberately evolved into a more comprehensive program embracing the biotechnical contributions to problems of human-environment interaction.
     Under the Research Center of Excellence, the research thrust is to capitalize on recent accomplishments and advanced technology developed by CEB researchers.

The research focus is divided into 5 areas:
• BioMicroElectronics
• BioEnvironmental Systems
• BioTechnical Systems
• BioAnalytical Systems
• Education & Outreach
